Me neither, but I thought that these were terms imposed on the
_developer_ writing an application that makes use of the APIs, not on
the people who might use that application. Ie, on Julien. (The
responsibility would fall on the FSF were such code in Emacs, as
stated in section 2.3 of the terms.)

If you are writing code to use someone's APIs to access their
database, it does not seem an unreasonable expectation that you should
first check what terms those APIs and the data are made available
under.

OpenStreetMap has much simpler terms.
